holo

Hologram editor written for mod OpenComputers (MineCraft).

This distribution includes two files / components.

holo.lua

The editor itself. For correct work you will need:

• Screen - Tier 3
• GPU/APU - Tier 2+
• RAM - Tier 2+, x2
• Internet card (optional, required for installation from repository)
• Hologram projector (optional, required to preview models)

holo-view.lua

The models viewer. You do not need the full editor installation to deploy your model to projector. Only the viewer.

Command syntax:

holo-view filename[.3d/.3dx] [scale]

Installation

Installation consists of two easy steps:

1) Obtain a HPM package manager copy.

If you already have one - you can skip this step. Otherwise you can use internet card and this command:

pastebin run vf6upeAN

2) Download holo package from repository:

hpm install holo

That's all. Now you can use holo and holo-view commands. The program files are downloaded and installed to /usr/bin/ folder.

NOTE: you can specify package version when installing. For example:

hpm install holo@0.7.1

Hologram formats

The basic hologram format is *.3d file.

It is easier to parse, and uses around 19KiB per model.

Since 0.7.0 version, the editor supports a new file format: *.3dx. It features x15 compression rate (thanks Zer0Galaxy for helping with this).

Both editor and viewer of new versions support the old *.3d format for backward compatibility.
